When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

1.06. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.07. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a) The Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalents of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes

of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Revolving Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Revolving Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

1.08. Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a) The Company may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Alternative Currency Lenders, the Mexican Peso Lenders or the Supplemental Lenders depending on the Tranche under which Borrowings in such currency are to be made (the “Authorizing Lenders”); and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 20 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other later time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Authorizing Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer thereof. Each Authorizing Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by an Authorizing Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Authorizing Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Authorizing Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent

shall so notify the Company and (i) the Administrative Agent and such Authorizing Lenders may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (ii) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Rate has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such currency under the applicable Tranche shall thereupon be permitted hereunder; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and (i) the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may amend the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and any applicable adjustment for such rate and (ii) to the extent the definition of Eurocurrency Base Rate has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency, for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances, and issuances of Letters of Credit in such currency shall be permitted hereunder. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.08, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company and Credit Extensions in such requested additional currency shall not be permitted hereunder.

1.09. Change of Currency.

(a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the applicable offshore interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Revolving Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Revolving Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time in consultation with the Company specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify in consultation with the Company to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any

other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of construction pursuant to this Section 1.09 shall reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

1.10. Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definitions of “Eurocurrency Rate,” “Term SOFR,” “Alternative Daily Rate,” or “Alternative Term Rate,” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including any Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.

1.11. Terms Applicable to Alternative Daily Rate Loans and Alternative Term Rate Loans.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) References to Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans. For the avoidance of doubt:

(i) references to the Eurocurrency Rate and Eurocurrency Rate Loans in provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include the Alternative Daily Rate, the Alternative Term Rate, Alternative Daily Rate Loans, and Alternative Term Rate Loans, as applicable.

(ii) for purposes of any requirement for the Borrower to compensate Lenders for losses in this Agreement resulting from any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Alternative Daily Rate Loan or Alternative Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of any Interest Period, references to the Interest Period shall be deemed to include any relevant interest payment date or payment period for an Alternative Daily Rate Loan or Alternative Term Rate Loan, as applicable.

(c) Revaluation Dates. The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings and Loans denominated in Euro and Sterling pursuant to the definition of “Dollar Equivalent”. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

Not later than 11:00 a.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Term SOFR Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, or (ii) three Business Days (or four Business Days in the case of Australian Dollars or Mexican Pesos and four or five Business Days in the case of any other Special Notice Currency, as determined by the Administrative Agent and specified to the Company) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders of such Tranche (or in the case of Term SOFR Term Loans of the same Borrowing, the Term A-1 Lenders or the Term A-2 Lenders, as applicable, holding such Loans). Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice, Term A-1 Loan Notice or a Term A-2 Loan Notice, as applicable, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Except as provided in Section 2.01(h), each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.01(h), 2.04(c) and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Revolving Loans or Base Rate Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Loan Notice, Term A-1 Loan Notice or Term A-2 Loan Notice (in each case, whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Revolving Borrowing, a Term A-1 Loan Borrowing, a Term A-2 Loan Borrowing, a

conversion of Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type and Tranche of Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) with respect to Revolving Loans, the currency of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed and (vii) if applicable, the Designated Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Revolving Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Revolving Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Tranche of a Revolving Loan in a Revolving Loan Notice, then the Revolving Loans so requested shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolving Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Tranche if the request is for a Revolving Borrowing in Dollars, the Alternative Currency Tranche if the request is for a Revolving Borrowing in an Alternative Currency (other than Mexican Pesos), the Mexican Peso Tranche if the request is for a Revolving Borrowing in Mexican Pesos and the Supplemental Tranche if the request is for a Revolving Borrowing in a Supplemental Currency. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a Revolving Loan Notice or a Type of Term A-1 Loan or Term A-2 Loan in a Term A-1 Loan Notice or Term A-2 Loan Notice or if the Company fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Term SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Sterling), such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable. If the Company requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans in any such Revolving Loan Notice, Term A-1 Loan Notice or Term A-2 Loan Notice, as applicable, but fails to specify an Interest Period (if applicable), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Loan may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Loan denominated in a different currency or in a different Tranche, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency or reborrowed in another Tranche to the extent permitted herein.

(b) Following receipt of a Revolving Loan Notice, Term A-1 Loan Notice or Term A-2 Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable Class and/or Tranche and/or holders of the same Borrowing of Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans of the amount (and, with respect to Revolving Loans, currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company,

the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Class and/or Tranche and/or holders of the same Borrowing of Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Revolving Borrowing, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company or the other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company; provided, however, that if, on the date the Revolving Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Company, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Revolving Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan or Term SOFR Term Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Revolving Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan or Term SOFR Term Loan. During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as, Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans without the consent of the applicable Class Required Lenders, and the applicable Class Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the applicable Class of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Revolving Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 20 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans. After giving effect to all Term A-1 Loan Borrowings and Term A-2 Loan

Borrowings, all conversions of Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term A-1 Loans and5 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term A-2 Loans.

(f) No later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Term A-1 Lender will make available (or convert or continue pursuant to Section 2.02(g)) its Term A-1 Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) such Term A-1 Lender’s Applicable Term A-1 Loan Percentage multiplied by (ii) the principal amount of the Term A-1 Loan requested in the manner provided below. No later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Term A-2 Lender will make available (or convert or continue pursuant to Section 2.02(g)) its Term A-2 Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) such Term A-2 Lender’s Applicable Term A-2 Loan Percentage multiplied by (ii) the principal amount of the Term A-2 Loan requested in the manner provided below. All such amounts of Term A-1 Loans and Term A-2 Loans will be made available in Dollars and in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, and, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent will make available the funds so received available on the Closing Date to the Company in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Administrative Agent or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company. The terms on which a New Term Lender shall make available any other Term Loan shall be set forth in the Term Loan Supplement for such other Term Loan.

(g) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Loan Lender that is a “Revolving Loan Lender” under the Original Credit Agreement severally agrees to convert and continue on the Closing Date such Revolving Loan Lenders portion of “Revolving Loans” (defined in the Original Credit Agreement) as Revolving Loans under this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term A-1 Lender that is a “Term Lender” under the Original Credit Agreement severally agrees to convert and continue on the Closing Date such Term A-1 Lender’s portion of “Term A-1 Loans” (defined in the Original Credit Agreement) as Term A-1 Loans under this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term A-2 Lender that is a “Term A-2 Lender” under the Original Credit Agreement severally agrees to convert and continue on the Closing Date such Term A-2 Lender’s portion of “Term A-2 Loans” (defined in the Original Credit Agreement) as Term A-2 Loans under this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Company, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.

(i) With respect to SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the

contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

Each Bid Request shall specify (i) the requested date of the Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans requested (which must be $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (iii) the Type of Bid Loans requested, (iv) the currency in which the requested Bid Loans are to be denominated (which shall be Dollars in the case of Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans) and (v) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. No Bid Request shall contain a request for (i) more than one Type of Bid Loan or (ii) Bid Loans having more than three different Interest Periods. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, the Company may not submit a Bid Request if it has submitted another Bid Request within the prior five Business Days.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of each Bid Request received by it from the Company and the contents of such Bid Request.

(ii) Each Revolving Loan Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer to make one or more Bid Loans in response to such Bid Request. Such Competitive Bid must be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m. (A) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, and (B) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans or Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, provided, however, that any Competitive Bid submitted by Bank of America in its capacity as a Revolving Loan Lender in response to any Bid Request must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:15 a.m. on the date on which Competitive Bids are required to be delivered by the other Revolving Loan Lenders in response to such Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (A) the proposed date of the Bid Borrowing, (B) the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to, greater than or less than the Commitment of the bidding Revolving Loan Lender, (y) must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Bid Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested, (C) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, the Absolute Rate offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (D) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Eurocurrency Bid Margin with respect to each such Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (E) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans, the Term SOFR Bid Margin with respect to each such Term SOFR Margin Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (F) the identity of the bidding Revolving Loan Lender.

(iii) Any Competitive Bid shall be disregarded if it (A) is received after the applicable time specified in clause (ii) above, (B) is not substantially in the form of a Competitive Bid as specified herein, (C) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, (D) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Request or (E) is otherwise not responsive to such Bid Request. Any Revolving Loan Lender may correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable time required for submission of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Revolving Loan Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Revolving Loan Lender’s Competitive Bid.

(iv) Subject only to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and 4.02 and clause (iii) above, each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.

(d) Notice to Company of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans or (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Term

SOFR Margin Bid Loans or Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of the identity of each Revolving Loan Lender that has submitted a Competitive Bid that complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of the offers contained in each such Competitive Bid.

(e) Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Not later than 11:30 a.m. (i) on the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans or Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Company (on behalf of itself or the relevant Borrower) shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d). The Company (on behalf of itself or the relevant Borrower) shall be under no obligation to accept any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bids for each Interest Period that is accepted. The Company (on behalf of itself or the relevant Borrower) may accept any Competitive Bid in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Request;

(ii) the principal amount of each Bid Loan must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(iii) the acceptance of offers may be made only on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates, Term SOFR Bid Margins or Eurocurrency Bid Margins within each Interest Period; and

(iv) the Company may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.03(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements hereof.

(f) Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or more Revolving Loan Lenders have submitted Competitive Bids at the same Absolute Rate, Term SOFR Bid Margins or Eurocurrency Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other Competitive Bids at lower Absolute Rates, Term SOFR Bid Margins or Eurocurrency Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted for such Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii)) would be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Bid Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Loan Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted as nearly as possible in proportion to the amount offered by each such Revolving Loan Lender in respect of such Interest Period, with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000,000.

(g) Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender having submitted a Competitive

Bid whether or not its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the applicable Bid Borrowing. Any Competitive Bid or portion thereof that is not accepted by the Company by the applicable time specified in Section 2.03(e) shall be deemed rejected.

(h) Notice of Term SOFR and Eurocurrency Base Rate. If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of (i) Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine SOFR for the relevant Interest Period, and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Company and the Revolving Loan Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of such determination or (ii) Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurocurrency Base Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Company and the Revolving Loan Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of such determination.

(i) Funding of Bid Loans. Each Revolving Loan Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 2.03(g) that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the Company shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Bid Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Loan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Revolving Loan Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (v) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Bid Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (w) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Loan Lender, plus such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Loan Lender’s Commitment, (x) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations

shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations under any Tranche shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit for such Tranche, (y) in respect of any Tranche, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Loan Lender in respect of such Tranche, plus such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in respect of such Tranche, plus such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans in respect of such Tranche shall not exceed such Revolving Loan Lender’s Commitment for such Tranche and (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations under any Tranche shall not exceed the Applicable Sublimit for such Tranche. Each request by the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Each L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, of the receipt of any application for a Letter of Credit, any repayment of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the stated amount of all Letters of Credit issued by it, the undrawn amount thereof, the amount of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect thereof and any other information requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(A) subject to Section 2.04(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Class Required Lenders holding Commitments and/or Revolving Loans have approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Company provides Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.17.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve

or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $250,000;

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(E) any Revolving Loan Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Revolving Loan Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

(F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount and currency thereof (which shall be in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) and the Tranche (which shall be a Letter of Credit Tranche) under which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue the applicable Letter of Credit for the account of the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably

and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. The Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date if the Company provides Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.17); provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Loan Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Revolving Loan Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline from the Administrative Agent, any

Revolving Loan Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company, the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars. If the Company does not reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a prompt confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Loan Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section

2.04(c)(iii), each Revolving Loan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not (x) fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason or (y) otherwise reimbursed by the Company on the Honor Date, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and, subject to Section 2.09(b), shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Loan Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Loan Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

(iv) Until each Revolving Loan Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Loan Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Revolving Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Loan Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such

payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Loan Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Loan Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Loan Lender such Revolving Loan Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Loan Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, which has been distributed to Revolving Loan Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer such Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Loan Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders under this clause shall survive the Facility Termination Date.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any

beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will notify the L/C Issuer within five Business Days. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Loan Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Loan Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Loan Lenders or the Class Required Lenders in respect of Revolving Loans, as applicable, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined

by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Loan Lender, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender of a Tranche in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for such Tranche, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit under such Tranche equal to the Applicable Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, the Company shall not have to pay any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04, except (x) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Loan Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), and (y) to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in respect of such Defaulting Lender, to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of

each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount, in Dollars, of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable by the Company within 15 days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. To the extent the terms of any Issuer Document are inconsistent with, or impose additional material obligations not otherwise set forth herein, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control for such time as the Loan Documents remain in effect.

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued under Particular Tranche; Changes in the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to any Letter of Credit Tranche. Each Letter of Credit may only be issued under a Letter of Credit Tranche. Letters of Credit may not be issued under any other Tranche. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall, as to any particular Letter of Credit, be applied only to the Tranche under which it was issued and not under any other Tranche, subject to the provisions of Section 2.14. The Company may from time to time increase or decrease the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to a Letter of Credit Tranche (but not any other

Tranche) by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer specifying (i) the revised Letter of Credit Sublimit for each such Letter of Credit Tranche, which shall be in a whole multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the effective date of such change, which shall be a Business Day at least two Business Days after the delivery of such notice, provided, however, (A) the aggregate Letter of Credit Sublimit for all Letter of Credit Tranches shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit with respect to any Letter of Credit Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments for such Tranche and shall not be less than the then Outstanding Amount of Letters of Credit issued under such Tranche.

(m) Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Agreement under the U.S. Dollar Tranche, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.05(c), prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05(c). Each Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate). Immediately upon the making of a Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, each Alternative Currency Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage times the amount of such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan.

(ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Canadian Dollar Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (i) telephone or (ii) a Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Canadian Dollar Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender not to make such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(c)(i) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of the requested Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan available to the Company (x) at the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender’s office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds or (y) by wire transfer of such funds in Same Day Funds, in

each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company or as otherwise instructed by the Company.

(iii) Refinancing of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans.

(A) Unless the Company has repaid any Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan then outstanding by 11:00 a.m. on the tenth Business Day after such Loan was made (the “Swing Line Repayment Date”), the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, no later than 12:00 noon on the Swing Line Repayment Date, or at any time prior thereto in its sole discretion may, request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Alternative Currency Lender make a Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan with an Interest Period of one month to the Company in Canadian Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Revolving Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Alternative Currency Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount specified in such Revolving Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Canadian Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Swing Line Repayment Date, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(iii)(B), each Alternative Currency Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender.

(B) If for any reason any Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(iii)(A), the request for Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans submitted by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender that each of the Alternative Currency Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment

to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(iii)(A) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(C) If any Alternative Currency Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Alternative Currency Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c)(iii) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(iii)(A), the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Alternative Currency Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Alternative Currency Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid (other than such interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, as the case may be, as of the date of such Revolving Borrowing or participation. A certificate of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender submitted to any Alternative Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (C) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(D) Each Alternative Currency Lender’s obligation to make Alternative Currency Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Alternative Currency Lender may have against the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Alternative Currency Lender’s obligation to make Alternative Currency Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(iii) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(iv) Repayment of Participations.

(A) At any time after any Alternative Currency Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, if the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Alternative Currency Lender its Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender.

(B) If any payment received by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender, which has been distributed to Lenders, in respect of principal or interest on any Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Alternative Currency Lender shall pay to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender its Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Alternative Currency Lenders under this clause shall survive the Facility Termination Date.

(v) Interest for Account of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender. The Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans. Until each Alternative Currency Lender funds its Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) to fund such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of any Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender.

(vi) Payments Directly to Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender. The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans directly to the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Lender.

(d) The Euro/Sterling Swing Line.

(i) The Euro/Sterling Swing Line.

giving effect to any Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan, (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Bid Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans and Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Alternative Currency Commitment, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans and the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Swing Line Sublimit, (iv) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations under the Alternative Currency Tranche shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit and (v) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Sublimit, and provided, further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.05(d), prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05(d). Each Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan, each Alternative Currency Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage times the amount of such Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan.

(ii) Borrowing Procedures. Each Euro/Sterling Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (i) telephone or (ii) a Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (London time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000 and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice, the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Euro/Sterling Swing

Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the date of the proposed Euro/Sterling Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender not to make such Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(d)(i) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender will, not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the borrowing date specified in such Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of the requested Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan available to the Company (x) at the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender’s office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds or (y) by wire transfer of such funds in Same Day Funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Company or as otherwise instructed by the Company.

(iii) Refinancing of Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans.

(A) Unless the Company has repaid any Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loan then outstanding by 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the Swing Line Repayment Date, the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent shall, no later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the Swing Line Repayment Date, or at any time prior thereto in its sole discretion may, request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Euro/Sterling Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Alternative Currency Lender make (x) an Alternative Daily Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount of Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans then outstanding or (y) an Alternative Term Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Alternative Currency Percentage of the amount of Euro/Sterling Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Alternative Currency Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, however, that such payment shall not become due if the Company at any time revokes such notice as a result of any refinancing or other contemplated source of funds not being available to fund such voluntary prepayment on such due date. Any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.18, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans, as applicable, of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Any Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) may not be reborrowed.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(d) Excess Usage of Commitments. If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Bid Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans or of the Loans made under the applicable Tranche, as applicable, such excess remains.

100

(e) Currency Exposure. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount as of any Revaluation Date of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, with respect to any Tranche exceeds the Applicable Sublimit for such Tranche then in effect, the Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, prepay the Loans made under such Tranche and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations issued under such Tranche, if any, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans or of the Loans made under such Tranche, as applicable, such excess remains.

(f) [Intentionally Omitted].

(g) [Intentionally Omitted].

(h) [Intentionally Omitted].

(i) Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, if at any time the mandatory prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or 2.06(e) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth above, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 3.05 as a result of Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (the “Affected Eurodollar Loans”), then Company may in its sole discretion initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of Affected Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral agreement (which shall permit investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which agreement shall provide for the payment of interest to the Company in respect of such deposit), with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence (or occurrences) thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Company), to repay an aggregate principal amount of such Loans equal to the Affected Eurodollar Loans not initially repaid pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, all amounts deposited as cash collateral pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held for the benefit of the Lenders whose Loans would otherwise have been immediately repaid with the amounts deposited and upon the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the remedial provisions of Section 8.02, any amounts held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.06(i) shall, subject to the requirements of applicable law, be immediately applied to the relevant Loans. Until actually applied to the repayment of Loans, interest shall continue to accrue thereon.

2.07. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the

101

consummation of a transaction which is contemplated to result in termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified termination or reduction date) if such condition is not satisfied), terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided, that (a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (c) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Bid Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (d) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Bid Loan Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction shall be applied to the U.S. Dollar Sublimit, Alternative Currency Sublimit, any other Applicable Sublimit and each of the Letter of Credit Sublimits as specified by the Company. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Revolving Loan Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.08. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Each Borrower shall repay to the Revolving Loan Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Loans the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans made to such Borrower outstanding on such date.

(b) Each Borrower shall repay each Bid Loan made to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

(e) The Company shall repay to the Term A-2 Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Term A-2 Loans the aggregate principal amount of Term A-2 Loans made to the Company outstanding on such date.

2.09. Interest.

(i) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; provided that any Term SOFR Margin Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Term SOFR Bid Margin;

(iii) each Base Rate Revolving Loan and each Base Rate Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Base Rate Revolving Loan that is a Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate;

(iv) each Bid Loan (other than each Term SOFR Margin Bid Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Base Rate for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the Eurocurrency Bid Margin, or at the Absolute Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be;

(v) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and

(vi) each Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR as in effect from time to time plus the SOFR Adjustment plus the Applicable Rate.

For purposes of the Term A-1 Loans, if the Company has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying (x) that all or any portion of the Term A-1 Loans are subject to an Interest Rate Protection Agreement and (y) that such Interest Rate Protection Agreement is not subject to an interest rate floor, then Term SOFR or the Base Rate, as applicable, used in calculating the interest rate pursuant to clause (a)(i) or clause (a)(iii) above, as applicable, applicable to such portion of such Term A-1 Loans identified in such notice shall not be subject to the Term SOFR Floor or the Base Rate Floor, as applicable.

For purposes of the Term A-2 Loans, if the Company has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying (x) that all or any portion of the Term A-2 Loans are subject to an

103

Interest Rate Protection Agreement and (y) that such Interest Rate Protection Agreement is not subject to an interest rate floor, then Term SOFR or the Base Rate, as applicable, used in calculating the interest rate pursuant to clause (a)(i) or clause (a)(iii) above, as applicable, applicable to such portion of such Term A-2 Loans identified in such notice shall not be subject to the Term SOFR Floor or the Base Rate Floor, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) with respect to each Term SOFR Term Loan, if the rate calculated pursuant to clause (a)(i) above shall be less than zero for any Interest Period, then the applicable interest rate for such Term SOFR Term Loan for such Interest Period shall deemed to be zero and (y) with respect to each Base Rate Term Loan, if the rate calculated pursuant to clause (a)(iii) above shall be less than zero for any Interest Period, then the applicable interest rate for such Base Rate Term Loan for such Interest Period shall be deemed to be zero.

(b) Default Interest.

(i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest Payment Date. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would require the Company to make any payment of interest or other amount in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in payment of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as

104

would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in payment of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

2.10. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.04:

(a) Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent with respect to each Tranche for the account of each Revolving Loan Lender in such Tranche in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for such Tranche, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate times the aggregate Commitments for such Tranche (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations in such Tranche), regardless of usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18 and Section 2.23, as applicable. The Facility Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding in such Tranche), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the aggregate Commitments for the relevant Tranche shall be multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the applicable Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by reference to Bank of America’s prime rate (or Bank of America, N.A.

105

Canada Branch’s prime rate in the case of Canadian Dollar Swing Line Loans) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. Except with respect to Alternative Daily Rate Loans and Alternative Term Rate Loans, all other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) All computations of interest for Alternative Daily Rate Loans and Alternative Term Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Alternative Currency Loans as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Alternative Daily Rate Loan and Alternative Term Rate Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on any Alternative Daily Rate Loans or Alternative Term Rate Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loans or such portion is paid, provided that any Alternative Daily Rate Loan and Alternative Term Rate Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

2.12. Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Xxxxxx and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records

106

maintained by any Xxxxxx and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Xxxxxx made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Promptly following the termination of this Agreement, each Lender shall return to the Borrower each Note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the obligations of such Lender in respect of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.13. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a Supplemental Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the amount of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency and in Same Day Funds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency or Supplemental Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars or an Alternative Currency or the time specified by the Administrative Agent in writing in the case of payments made in a Supplemental Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to

107

accrue. If any payment to be made by such Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Xxxxxxx; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (A) in the case of any Revolving Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, prior to the proposed date of such Revolving Borrowing or (B) in the case of any Revolving Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans, Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or Term A-2 Loan Borrowing, prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Revolving Borrowing, Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or Term A-2 Loan Borrowing, as applicable, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with, or with and at the time required by, Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing, Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or Term A-2 Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing, Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or Term A-2 Loan Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan, Term A-1 Loan or Term A-2 Loan included in such Revolving Borrowing, such Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or such Term A-2 Loan Borrowing, as applicable, as of the date of such Revolving Borrowing, Term A-1 Loan Borrowing or Term A-2 Loan Borrowing, as applicable. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(A) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may

108

be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

(B) With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or a Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Xxxxxx as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Loans, to make Term A-1 Loans, to make Term A-2 Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan, any Term A-1 Loan, any Term A-2 Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving

109

Loan, to make its Term A-1 Loan, to make its Term A-2 Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Conversion after Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and Supplemental Currencies will automatically, on the date of such Event of Default, be converted on a notional basis into the Dollar Equivalent thereof solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under Section 8.03 and Section 2.14(b).

2.14. Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx. (a) Sharing of Payments. Except as otherwise set forth herein, if, in connection with any particular Tranche or Class, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment with respect to such Tranche or Class of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof with respect to such Tranche or Class as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) from Lenders of such Tranche or Class participations in the Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans of such Tranche or Class and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of such Tranche or Class of the other Lenders of such Tranche or Class, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders of such Tranche or Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans of such Tranche or Class and other amounts owing them in respect of such Tranche or Class; provided that:

(A) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(B) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and as a result of the operation of Section 10.13), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to a Borrower

110

or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default. Notwithstanding Section 2.14(a), following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the notional conversion of all Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a Supplemental Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 2.13(f), if any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) (i) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments obtained by all of the Lenders at such time on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time or (ii) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (B) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments obtained by all of the Lenders at such time on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (B) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

112

Company certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) no Default or Event of Default exists and (B) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) with such effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the Existing Term A-1 Loan Maturity Date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or any warranty which by its term is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) as of such specified date). For the avoidance of doubt, the extension option set forth in this Section 2.15(b) shall not apply to Term A-2 Loans.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments (which increase may take the form of new revolving or term loan tranches or increasing the size of an existing Tranche, the existing Term A-1 Loans or the existing Term A-2 Loans and provide for the payment of commitment or upfront fees in consideration for such increase solely to such Lenders and Acceding Lenders participating in such increase) (each, an “Increase”) by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $500,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such smaller amount as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree) and (ii) if applicable, the Company shall specify the Tranche, Tranches, Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans that shall be increased and the amount of any such Increase. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to participate in such Increase and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested Increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in such Increase.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’

113

responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested Increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders (an “Acceding Lender”) pursuant to a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

(d) Closing Date and Allocations. The Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Closing Date”) and the final allocation of such Increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such Increase and the Increase Closing Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such Increase, (i) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Closing Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Increase and (y) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) on and as of the Increase Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.11, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii)(A) upon the reasonable request of any Lender participating in such Increase made at least ten days prior to the Increase Closing Date, the Loan Parties shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act, in each case at least three days prior to the Increase Closing Date and (B) at least three days prior to the Increase Closing Date, any Loan Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender participating in such Increase that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification with respect to such Loan Party and (iii) to the extent that such Increase shall take the form of a new revolving loan or term loan tranche, this Agreement shall be amended, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the lenders in respect of such revolving loan or term loan tranche, as applicable, to include such terms as are customary for a new revolving loan or term loan

114

commitment, as applicable; provided that (I) the terms and conditions applicable to a new revolving loan or term loan tranche may be materially different from those of the Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (II) the interest rates, maturity and amortization schedule applicable to such revolving loans or term loan shall be determined by the Company and the Lenders holding commitments in such revolving loan or term loan tranche, as applicable.

(f) Amendments to Agreement. The Company and the Administrative Agent may execute such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to such Increase, including any amendments to the definition of “Applicable Sublimit” and Schedule 2.01A.

(g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.17. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Company shall in each case promptly Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest or non-interest bearing (at the Company’s election) deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Company or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

115

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))), (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that there exists excess Cash Collateral (including following the Company’s request); provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.17 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.18. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which

116

that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it and (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.17, or Section 2.18(a)(ii), as applicable (and the Company shall (A) be required to pay to each of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of

117

that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Xxxxxx. Subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Xxxxxx having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Xxxxxx’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.19. Designated Borrowers.

(a) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”); provided that the consent of the designation of a Subsidiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, Canada, or United Kingdom shall require the consent of each Lender funding the applicable Supplemental Tranche. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received (i) a fully executed Company Guaranty made by the Company in favor of the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 and (ii) such supporting

118

resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, but in any event consistent with supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information delivered pursuant to Section 4.01 or required pursuant to Section 10.18, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, solely to the extent such documents and/or information, as applicable, are being requested in connection with the Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or any other AML Law, any Lender), and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. Promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, but in no event earlier than 15 Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement and subject to the Administrative Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Applicant Borrower’s designation as a Designated Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit M (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders shall make Loans to such Designated Borrower, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature. The Obligations of all Designated Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.

(c) Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.19 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(d) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative

119

Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

2.20. Reallocation of Commitments. (a) Without limitation of the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.16 or Section 2.21, the Borrowers may, at any time (but not more often than once in any fiscal quarter) during the Availability Period, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Reallocation Notice”), reallocate the aggregate amount of unused Commitments among the Tranches (a “Reallocation”) by not less than $5,000,000 to be effective on the date set forth in such notice (each a “Reallocation Date”) that is at least 90 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect with respect to Revolving Loans; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Reallocation cause the Commitments of any Tranche to be less than the lesser of (1) in the case of the U.S. Dollar Tranche, $50,000,000 or (2) the portion of the Outstanding Amount then allocable to such Tranche, (ii) on the Reallocation Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, dated the Reallocation Date, stating that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) on and as of the Reallocation Date after giving effect to the Reallocation, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (provided, that to the extent that any representation or warranty is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to any qualification contained therein as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.11, and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such Reallocation, (iii) immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, in no event shall the Outstanding Amount under such Tranche exceed the Commitments in respect of such Tranche at such time. The Reallocation Notice shall (x) specify (1) the proposed aggregate amount of such Reallocation (the “Total Reallocation Amount”), (2) the Tranche or Tranches being increased (each, an “Increasing Tranche”), (3) the Tranche or Tranches being decreased (each, a “Decreasing Tranche”) and (4) the proposed Reallocation Date and (y) contain a certification signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.20(a) have been satisfied or, as of the Reallocation Date, will be satisfied.

(b) Upon receipt of any Reallocation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Reallocation Notice to each L/C Issuer and each affected Lender and notify each affected Lender of its proposed proportionate share of (i) the Decreasing Tranche, (ii) the Increasing Tranche, (iii) the Total Reallocation Amount and (iv) the date by which Lenders (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) with increasing Commitments in respect of the Increasing Tranche, if any, resulting from such Reallocation must commit in writing to the increase in their respective Commitments in the Increasing

120

Tranche (the “Reallocation Commitment Date”). Such determinations shall be made by the Administrative Agent for each Lender based on the ratio of the Commitment of such Lender in respect of the Decreasing Tranche to the total Commitments of all Lenders in respect of such Tranche; provided that (a) if the Decreasing Tranche is the Mexican Peso Tranche, any Lender with a Mexican Peso Commitment on the Closing Date and (b) with respect to any Tranche, any Lender in the Decreasing Tranche that originally had a Commitment in the Increasing Tranche that was previously reallocated to the Decreasing Tranche, shall restore its prior Commitments in the Increasing Tranche and no other Lenders shall be offered the option to participate therein. Each Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) that is willing to participate in such Commitment increase resulting from the Reallocation shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its applicable Commitment. If any Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) shall fail to provide such notice or shall decline, in whole or in part, to commit to its allocable share of the Commitment increase in respect of the Increasing Tranche, then the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly allocate to the Approved Reallocation Lenders in the Increasing Tranche such share in accordance with the approved allocation amounts of such Approved Reallocation Lender set forth on Schedule 2.20 and (ii) shall thereafter offer any such remaining share to the other Lenders in the Increasing Tranche that are willing to participate in such Commitment increase on a pro rata basis. For the avoidance of doubt, each Xxxxxx’s sole right to approve or consent to any Reallocation shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.20(b). Any determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.20(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) On the applicable Reallocation Date, (i) the Reallocation shall be effected by reallocating unused Commitments from the Decreasing Tranche to the Increasing Tranche on a dollar-for-dollar basis (and with respect to any Approved Reallocation Lender, without any further approval from such Approved Reallocation Lender) and (ii) to the extent Borrowings then outstanding and owed to any applicable Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reallocation shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Reallocation) of all Credit Extensions then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders in any affected Tranche (collectively, including any applicable Acceding Lender, the “Reallocation Purchasing Lenders”), in each case as applicable, then such Reallocation Purchasing Lenders, without executing an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Credit Extensions then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Reallocation Purchasing Lender (collectively, the “Reallocation Selling Lenders”), in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Credit Extensions outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation) of all Loans then outstanding in respect of the applicable Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Reallocation

121

Purchasing Lender and received by each Reallocation Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Reallocation Date. Each Reallocation Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the Reallocation Funding Deadline on the Reallocation Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Reallocation Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Reallocation Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its applicable Lending Office.

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

(f) On the Reallocation Date, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement Note payable to the order of each Lender requesting the same in a principal amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s respective Commitment immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation. Each Lender receiving a replacement Note shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower any previously issued Note for which such replacement Note was delivered in exchange, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any previously issued Note, a lost note affidavit in customary form.

(g) On the Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrowers, on or before the Reallocation Agent Notice Deadline, by facsimile, telex or other electronic mail communication, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date and shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Borrowers a copy of Schedule 2.01A hereto revised to reflect such Reallocation. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Lender on such Reallocation Date in accordance with Section 10.06(c).

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Reallocation of any unused Commitment of a Lender shall cause an increase in the aggregate Commitments of such Lender and its Affiliates under all Tranches. After giving effect to any Reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.20 and without limiting Section 2.16, the maximum aggregate amount of the Alternative Currency Commitments under the Alternative Currency Tranche may not exceed $500,000,000.

2.21. Supplemental Tranches. The Company may from time to time request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”) certain Lenders to provide one or more supplemental tranches for Loans in an amount of at least $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) per tranche in a currency (a “Supplemental Currency”) that is not included as an Alternative Currency Committed Foreign Currency at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”); provided that Lenders providing Supplemental Tranche Commitments with respect to such Tranche shall be obligated to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(e) in Dollars, Alternative Currency Committed Foreign Currencies and the Supplemental Currency. Each Supplemental Tranche Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit N (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed existing Borrower

122

or Borrowers and/or the proposed Designated Borrower or Designated Borrowers that will be the proposed Supplemental Borrower with respect to such Supplemental Tranche, (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (iv) the other matters set forth on the form of Supplemental Addendum and (v) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that the Borrowers deem necessary; provided that the maturity date of any Revolving Loan under any Supplemental Tranche shall not be later than the Maturity Date for Revolving Loans. As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement: (i) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to the applicable Supplemental Tranche must be able to make Revolving Loans in the Supplemental Currency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, (ii) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to such Supplemental Tranche and the Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum, (iii) each of the proposed Supplemental Borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or a Designated Borrower with regard to such Supplemental Tranche and each such Supplemental Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute the Supplemental Addendum and (iv) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.20 and this Section 2.21, each Supplemental Tranche shall be committed to by Lenders pursuant to (x) an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.16 or (y) Reallocations of unused Commitments to the applicable Supplemental Tranche pursuant to Section 2.20. No Lender shall be obligated to make a Supplemental Tranche Commitment and a Lender may agree to do so in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, each Xxxxxx’s sole right to approve or consent to any Supplemental Tranche Commitment shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Supplemental Tranche Commitment in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.21. If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent and each applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”), the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche and any other terms of such Supplemental Tranche. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule 2.01A to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date. Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor, the Company shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint the proposed funding agent for the requested Supplemental Tranche. Each such funding agent shall (A) execute the applicable Supplemental Addendum and (B) administer the applicable Supplemental Tranche and, in connection therewith, shall have authority consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Administrative Agent’s administration of the applicable Tranche or Tranches; provided, however, that no such funding agent shall be authorized to take any enforcement action unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Each such funding agent shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 to the same extent as the Administrative Agent.

123

2.22. Certain Permitted Amendments.

(a) The Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, but not more than three times during the term of this Agreement (and with no more than one such offer outstanding at any one time), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders or all Lenders of any Class of Loans to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, each Permitted Amendment shall only require the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and those Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”), and each Permitted Amendment shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders. In connection with any Loan Modification Offer, the Company may, at its sole option, with respect to one or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders (each, a “Non-Accepting Lender”) replace such Non-Accepting Lender pursuant to Section 10.13. Upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment and any assignment of any Non-Accepting Lender’s Commitments and/or Loans pursuant to Section 10.13, subject to the payment of applicable amounts pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection therewith, the Company shall be deemed to have made such borrowings and repayments of the Revolving Loans, and the Lenders shall make such adjustments of outstanding Revolving Loans between and among them, as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Commitments such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

(b) The Company and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date.

124

(c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the Maturity Date applicable solely to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) an increase in the interest rate with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Accepting Lenders in connection with the Permitted Amendment (including any upfront fees), (iv) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “Class” or “Tranche” of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom, provided that payments of principal and interest on Loans (including loans of Accepting Lenders) shall continue to be shared pro rata in accordance with Section 2.14, except that notwithstanding Section 2.14 the Loans and Commitments of the Non-Accepting Lenders may be repaid and terminated on their applicable Maturity Date, without any pro rata reduction of the commitments and repayment of loans of Accepting Lenders with a different Maturity Date and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.

(d) This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provision in Section 10.01 to the contrary. Notwithstanding any reallocation into extending and non-extending “Classes” or “Tranches” in connection with a Permitted Amendment, all Loans to the Company under this Agreement shall rank pari-passu in right of payment.

2.23. Sustainability Adjustments.

(a) Effective Date for Pricing Adjustments. (i) Each Sustainability Margin Adjustment and each Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be effective on the applicable Sustainability Adjustment Date and (ii) each change in the Applicable Rate and the Facility Fee resulting from delivery of a Sustainability Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Adjustment Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (x) the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Adjustment Date and (y) the 180th day of the immediately succeeding fiscal year.

(b) Maximum Adjustment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sustainability Pricing Certificate may be delivered only once in respect of any fiscal year. It is further understood and agreed that (i) the Applicable Rate will never be reduced or increased by more than (A) 0.04% (4 basis points) in the case of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Fees and (B) 0.05% (5 basis points) in the case of Term Loans and (ii) the Facility Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01% (1 basis point), in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, as applicable, during any fiscal year (the “Maximum Adjustment”). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Rate due to a Sustainability Margin Adjustment or any adjustment to the Facility Fee due to a Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment in any fiscal year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only

125

apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place pursuant to Section 2.23(a) above.

(c) Non-Reporting of KPI. If the Company does not provide the Administrative Agent with the Sustainability Pricing Certificate for one or more KPI Metrics for any fiscal year within the timeframe set forth Section 6.11(l), then until such time as the Company provides such certificate for the applicable KPI Metric, the Applicable Rate shall be increased by (i) (A) 0.02% (2 basis points) in the case of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Fees and (B) 0.025% (2.5 basis points) in the case of Term Loans and (ii) the Facility Fee shall be increased by 0.005% (0.5 basis points), in each case, for each applicable Key Performance Indicator for which a KPI Metric has not been submitted, commencing on the day by which such Sustainability Pricing Certificate was required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.11(l) and continuing until the Company submits the Sustainability Pricing Certificate for such fiscal year or for the subsequent fiscal year; provided that the Applicable Rate and the Facility Fee, as applicable, shall never be increased by more than the Maximum Adjustment.

(d) Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy. (1) If (i) (A) the Company or the Required Lenders become aware of any material inaccuracy in any Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment or any KPI Metric calculation as reported in a Sustainability Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent describing such Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be promptly shared with each Lender and the Company), or (B) the Company and the Lenders agree that there was a Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Sustainability Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustments or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Rate and/or Facility Fee for any applicable period, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders promptly following written demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Company has received written notice in reasonable detail of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest or fee, as applicable, in each case that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest or fee actually paid for such period.

(2) If the Company becomes aware of any Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Rate or Facility Fee for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice from the Company of such Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable, and be certified to by a

126

Responsible Officer of the Company), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Rate or the Facility Fee, as applicable, shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable.

(3) It is understood and agreed that any Sustainability Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy with respect to any applicable period shall not constitute a Default unless the Company fails to make a payment required by the foregoing terms of this Section 2.23(d) within the time period for payment set forth in clause (1) of this Section 2.23(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy Code, (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.23(d) shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (1) of this Section 2.23(d), (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) until the expiration of the period for payment set forth in clause (1) of this Section 2.23 and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the Default Rate prior to the expiration of the period for payment set forth in clause (1) of this Section 2.23 .

(e) Agent Exculpation. Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Company of any Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in the Initial KPI Metrics Report, any KPI Metrics Report or any Sustainability Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(f) Regulatory Change; Sustainability Recalculation Event. In the event of a Regulatory Change or a Sustainability Recalculation Event, in each case, which affects, significantly, whether positively and / or negatively, one or more of the KPI Metrics, (i) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall negotiate in good faith, by no later than 60 days following such Regulatory Change or Sustainability Recalculation Event, as applicable, any necessary amendment, modification or other supplement to Schedule 2.23 (and any component definitions thereof), which amendment, modification or other supplement shall be subject to the affirmative approval of the Required Lenders; provided, however, if the Company, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders are unable to agree to any such amendment, modification or supplement following the 60 day period, the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment shall cease to apply for the relevant Key Performance Indicator and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for all purposes hereunder, the Sustainability Applicable Rate Adjustment for such Key Performance Indicator shall be deemed to be zero. In the case such Key Performance Indicator no longer applies, the Company will then cease to refer to the applicable Key Performance Indicator in the Sustainability Pricing Certificate.

127

Article III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the respective Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith discretion of such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding taxes and withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such required withholding or the making of such required deductions (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, each Loan Party shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted or payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or

128

liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and to the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes (including any documentation that will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding), (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the respective Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1)-(4) and (iii) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Company on behalf of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

129

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Company on behalf of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(2) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(3) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,

(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or

(5) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed in law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the

130

Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(e)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the definition of “FATCA” or Section 1.02, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certificate or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer (as applicable) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Grandfathered Obligations. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers and the

131

Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office or Affiliate to make, maintain or fund Loans (a) to any Designated Borrower or (b) whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, SOFR or Term SOFR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue (A) any Loan to such Designated Borrower or (B) Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, to convert Base Rate Revolving Loans or Base Rate Term Loans to Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended and, in the case of any notice delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, such Lender shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans to such Designated Borrower and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Xxxxxx notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to clause (b) above, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars or such Lender is an Alternative Currency Lender or U.S. Dollar Lender, convert all Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans and all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either (I) on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans or such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or (II) immediately, in the case of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans or such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based SOFR. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to clause (a) above, which notice asserts the illegality of such Lender to lend to such Designated Borrower, the Borrowers shall prepay such Loans of such Lender outstanding to such Designated Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of such notice (or such shorter period as required by applicable Law); provided that if such Loans are not so repaid, so long as no Event of Default has

132

occurred and is continuing and the Company has designated another Borrower to which it is not illegal for such Lender to make or maintain Loans, such Loans shall be deemed to be repaid and such other Borrower as designated by the Company shall be deemed to have borrowed the amount deemed repaid by such Designated Borrower. Upon any such prepayment or conversion the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan, a Daily Simple SOFR Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a continuation of any of such Term SOFR Loans or such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.03(b) or of Section 3.03(c) or the Non-SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date or the SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Revolving Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan, Term SOFR Term Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, as applicable, or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to any such proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or Interest Periods related thereto), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders or the Class Required Lenders in respect of the Revolving Loans, the applicable Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans, as the case may be, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders or the Class Required Lenders in respect of the Revolving Loans, the applicable Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans, as the case may be) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Revolving Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, or Interest Periods related thereto), as applicable, in the affected

133

currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans or Base Rate Term Loans, as applicable, in the amount specified therein (or, in the case of a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein) and (ii) (A) any outstanding Term SOFR Revolving Loans or Term SOFR Term Loans, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding, Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loan immediately at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

(b) Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) for any requested Interest Period for any Permitted Currency (other than Dollars), including, without limitation, because the applicable screen page is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the applicable administrator of the Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) for such Permitted Currency (other than Dollars) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of any Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) or the applicable screen rate (other than the Term SOFR Screen Rate) shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Permitted Currency (other than Dollars), or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such tenor(s) of the Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) for such Permitted Currency (other than Dollars) after such specific date (the latest date on which all tenors of the Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) or the applicable screen page (other than the Term SOFR Screen Rate) are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Non-SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Sections 3.03(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Non-SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then, in each case, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by

134

the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing such Applicable Reference Rate (other than SOFR) in accordance with this Section 3.03 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States in such Permitted Currency (other than Dollars) for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States in such Permitted Currency (other than Dollars) for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (any such proposed rate and adjustments thereto, a “Non-SOFR Successor Rate”). Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(c) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

135

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Sections 3.03(c)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “SOFR Successor Rate” and, collectively with the Non-SOFR Successor Rate, each, a “Successor Rate”).

If the SOFR Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.03(c)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.03 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments thereto, shall constitute a “SOFR Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

For purposes of this Section 3.03(c), those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans in Dollars shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

(d) Successor Rate. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Company and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

136

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account any applicable credit spread adjustment) as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into any applicable credit spread adjustment) will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Company and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.04. Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement to the extent reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, (B) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Tax described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer and (C) Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes, in each case imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or L/C Issuer and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Lender or L/C Issuer having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document)); or

137

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, maintaining, converting or continuing any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to Term SOFR or the Eurocurrency Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a), (b) or (e) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, in the case of any Change in Law, it shall be a condition to a Lender’s exercise of its rights, if any, under this Section 3.04 that such Lender shall generally be exercising similar rights with respect to borrowers under similar agreements where available. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

138

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of Term SOFR Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) not already paid pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (b) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) reasonably detailing the calculation of additional amounts due to such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional costs shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon written request (which request shall set forth the basis for compensation and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such compensation) of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any reasonable loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert into any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Designated Borrower;

139

(c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or reimbursement of a drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency;

(d) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13; or

(e) any Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.20(d) in respect of any Tranche on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period of any Term SOFR Loan or Eurocurrency Rate Loan outstanding under such Tranche;

excluding any loss of anticipated profits but including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Company shall pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of any Borrower such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Company hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender or Participant requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional

140

amount to any Lender, any Participant or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Participant pursuant to Section 3.01 or (iii) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, the Company may replace such Lender or such Participant in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Xxxxxx.

Article IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all material liability for taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby except for amounts for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP and except where noncompliance with the foregoing could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by them other than taxes which are not delinquent, and other than those that have been or would be contested in good faith if asserted by the appropriate taxing authority and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP and except where the failure to take such actions could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have properly accrued adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for any material amount of taxes in dispute for a Return which is the subject of any waiver extending the statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.10, for the purposes of determining whether an Investment complies with the requirements of Section 7.10(a), (A) compliance shall be tested as of the date that the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company enters into a binding contractual commitment relating to such Investment and (B) an Investment that takes place in a series of related transactions contemplated by definitive agreements relating to such Investment (such as an Investment in a form similar to a reverse like-kind exchange transaction as contemplated by Rev. Proc. 2000-37, 2000-2 C.B. 308) will be permitted pursuant to Section 7.10(a) so long as the completion of such series of related transactions (as opposed to the completion of any individual component) would result in an Investment permitted under this Section 7.10(a).

165

Acquisitions and Investments of the type described in Section 7.10(a)(ii) that are made during a period in the fiscal year when the Leverage Ratio is less than 6.00:1.00, shall, in the event that the Leverage Ratio subsequently exceeds 6.00:1.00 during such fiscal year, be counted against the basket provided for in Section 7.10(a)(ii) for such fiscal year for purposes of determining basket availability only.

166

duplication, to avoid income tax (unless HHRI decides to retain its net long-term capital gains) or excise tax under the Code or other state or local tax laws and regulations; provided, however, there shall not be any implied requirement that the Company utilize the dividend deferral options in Section 857(b)(9) or Section 858(a) of the Code and (II) at any time when, based upon the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.11(a) or (b) and the Company’s estimation of the results of the current fiscal quarter, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is greater than 2.00:1:00 for any Test Period (determined as if such Test Period ended as of the last day of such current fiscal quarter), 85% of the Adjusted Funds From Operations for the current fiscal year; provided, however, that notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of an Event of Default immediately after giving effect thereto, the amounts described in clause (C) above may be paid so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f) then exists or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto;

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, meeting the applicable qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (2) all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly and (3) all determinations provided to be made by the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by the Required Lenders, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Sustainability Structuring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent and Sustainability Structuring Agent, respectively and (ii) after such resignation for so long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents that otherwise would have been performed by the retiring Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent if it were acting as Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, respectively, hereunder, including in respect of any actions

178

taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable.

(b) (i) If at any time Bank of America (x) resigns as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(a) or (y) assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 10.06(b), Bank of America may, (I) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (II) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Swing Line Lender (which such resignation shall include Bank of America, N.A. Canada Branch, acting in its capacity as a Swing Line Lender). In the event of any such resignation by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder (which may include any Lender serving as successor Administrative Agent); provided that the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, shall not take effect until the appointment and acceptance of such successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender and (y) subject to clause (b)(ii) of this Section, the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(ii) If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations for unreimbursed amounts of Letters of Credit hereunder. No Letter of Credit issued by Bank of America shall be required to be canceled, replaced with a Letter of Credit issued by any successor L/C Issuer or otherwise cash collateralized solely on account of Bank of America’s resignation as L/C Issuer, and for all purposes hereunder, such Letter of Credit shall remain a Letter of Credit issued hereunder. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans hereunder.

179

that no successor Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent may be a Disqualified Institution.

9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

9.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(i) and (j), 2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements

180

and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

9.10. Subsidiaries Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, to release any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty (a) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, including as a result of any sale, transfer or disposition of such Subsidiary permitted by hereunder (so long as the proceeds from such sale, transfer or disposition have been or will be applied in accordance with this Agreement), (b) otherwise pursuant to Section 6.14 and (c) on the Facility Termination Date.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Xxxxxxx will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Each Lender and L/C Issuer irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or

182

similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender and each L/C Issuer, as applicable, promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Sustainability Structuring Agent and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for each of the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, including Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP), in connection with, as applicable, the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) to the extent not already paid pursuant to Section 2.04, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender (following an Event of Default) or the L/C Issuer (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit and (iv) pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission (other than to the extent attributable to such Lender) to pay such taxes. It is understood that the provisions of this clause do not include the normal administrative charges of the Administrative Agent in administering the Loans (which amounts are included in a separate letter with the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Lenders and the L/C Issuer for fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with the matters described in clause (iii) above shall be limited to (w) one law firm for the Administrative Agent, (x) one law firm for the Sustainability Structuring Agent, (y) one other law firm retained by the Required Lenders or an ad hoc group of Lenders and (z) in the event of a conflict of interest, one additional law firm for another Lender or group of Lenders, together with (in the case of (w), (x), (y) and (z), as applicable) one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any sub-agent of the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or consultants for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document

189

or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (w) to the extent incurred by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (x) to the extent arising from any dispute solely among Indemnitees which dispute does not directly result from an act or omission by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent or Arranger or any similar role hereunder or under any other Loan Document), (y) to the extent arising from yield maintenance matters addressed in Section 3.04 or (z) that constitute amounts in respect of Excluded Taxes. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction (unless there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, in which case, one or more additional firms shall be permitted to the extent necessary to eliminate such conflict). The Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of any matter for which indemnification may be sought under hereunder with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitees seeking indemnification hereunder. Upon assumption by the Company of the defense of any such matter, such Indemnitees shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain their own counsel but the Company shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnitees in connection with the defense thereof unless such Indemnitees shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Indemnitees. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably

190

withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment subject to the Company’s rights in this paragraph to claim exemption from its indemnity obligations. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnitee is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Company, its equity holders or creditors or an Indemnitee, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Company also agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or to the Company’s or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent of damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and no Indemnitee shall be liable under any circumstances for any punitive damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for damages (but not punitive damages) resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Xxxxxxx. To the extent that the Company for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any sub-agent of the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent (or any such sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, any such sub-agent or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent (or any such sub-agent thereof), or the L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this

191

subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d). To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 10.04 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable. To the extent that the Sustainability Structuring Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Sustainability Structuring Agent” in this Section 10.04 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.

(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender and the Facility Termination Date.

10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof which has been distributed to or shared with the Lenders as required hereby is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the Facility Termination Date.

10.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to

192

confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans (if the Commitment is not then in effect), Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to rights in respect of Bid Loans or the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non-pro rata basis.

193

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment (other than an assignment of Term A-1 Loans or Term A-2 Loans).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) to a natural person or (D) a Disqualified Institution.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the

194

applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and shall for the purposes of the Loan Documents be a Lender, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (x) entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and (y) otherwise subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.07. Upon request and following the return of any related Note issued to the assigning Lender, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such Note, a lost note affidavit from the assigning Lender in customary form, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. Upon request by the Company, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of any transfer by a Lender of its rights or obligations under this Agreement not subject to the Company’s consent in the form of a list of current Lenders, although the failure to give any such information shall not affect any assignments or result in any liability by the Administrative Agent.

To the extent that an assignment of all or any portions of a Lender’s Commitments and/or Loans and related outstanding Obligations would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs or Taxes under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then a Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse such increased costs (although the Company shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

The Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with any provisions relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

195

Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not (a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Institution or (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Commitments or Loans, or disclosure of confidential information in connection therewith, to any Disqualified Institution; it being agreed that the foregoing shall not relieve the Administrative Agent, to the extent constituting a Lender, from its obligations in respect of Disqualified Institutions in connection with assignments and participations, and disclosure of confidential information in connection therewith, by it to the extent acting in its capacity as a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Company expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (a) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time on the Platform, including that portion for the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (b) provide such list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto to each Lender requesting the same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company’s prior written consent, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay the outstanding amount of Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts owing to such Disqualified Institution, (B) in the case of any outstanding Loans, purchase such Loans by paying the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loans, plus in the case of clauses (A) and (B), accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the outstanding principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus in the case of clauses (A) and (B), accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder; provided that in the case of clause (C), the relevant assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.06.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Disqualified Institution (A) will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the list of Disqualified Institutions to any potential assignee who is a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of determining if such potential assignee is a Disqualified Institution) and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2 and (B) (x) for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan

196

Document, shall not have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Loans held by any Disqualified Institution shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Disqualified Institution, deprive any Disqualified Institution of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Loans are entitled and (y) hereby agrees that if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against a Borrower or any other Loan Party, such Disqualified Institution will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Lender or any L/C Issuer, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions is made available to all Lenders, any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan

197

Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. In the case of any such participation pursuant to Section 10.06(d), a Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (such Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Xxxxxx in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Xxxxxx had not sold such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations applicable thereto, including the requirements under Sections 3.01 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e)(ii) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), 3.06 and 10.13) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.06; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant of a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee, assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto and the exercise of remedies, including any foreclosure, by such pledgee, assignee or grantee shall be subject to the requirements of Section 10.06(b).

10.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of, and not disclose, all information provided to all or any one of them by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan

198

Documents, except such information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors (legal or otherwise) and representatives or to any credit insurance provider relating to the Company and its obligations, in each case, who need to know such information in connection with this Agreement and are informed of the confidential nature of such information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will either be subject to customary confidentiality obligations of employment or professional practice or agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 10.07 (or language substantially similar to this Section) (with the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, responsible for such person’s compliance with this Section 10.07)), (b) to the extent requested (orally or in writing) by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the applicable Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, agrees to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation and reasonably practicable, to inform the Company in advance thereof), (c) to any other party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (d) other than to any Disqualified Institution and subject to such Person entering into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c), (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations or (iii) any pledgee or assignee or prospective assignee or pledgee of a Lender pursuant to Section 10.06(f), (e) with the consent of the Company, (f) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (g) to ratings agencies or (h) if an Event of Default exists, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Section by them, any of their respective Affiliates or their or their respective Affiliates’ partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors (legal or otherwise) and representatives, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates could be irreparably and immediately harmed and might not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Section or to compel specific performance of the agreements contained in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their respective affiliates may disclose any information provided hereunder to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the respective businesses of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or those of their respective affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority, in which case the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer agrees, to the extent permitted by law, rule and

199

regulation and reasonably practicable, to inform the Company promptly in advance thereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence and clause (b) of this Section relating to the obligation of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to provide advance notice to the Company of any disclosures permitted pursuant to this Section shall (a) automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect on and after the date that is two years after the termination of this Agreement and (b) not apply to disclosures in connection with credit and other bank examinations conducted in the ordinary course exercising examination or regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agree to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

200

10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date.

10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative

201

Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13. Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender or any Participant requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Participant or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution, Non-Accepting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or (e) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Participant and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Participant, the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant, require such Lender or Participant to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) In the case of any replacement of a Lender, the Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender or Participant shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances or participations, as applicable, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS

202

PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

10.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY

203

OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) such Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and (iii) such Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any of the Arrangers or any of the Lenders has any obligation to such Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

10.17. Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document or any other document executed in connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 10.17 to the

204

contrary neither the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor any Lender is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

10.18. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined), the Beneficial Ownership Regulation or any other AML Laws (as hereinafter defined) , and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender), hereby notifies the Borrowers and any Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (collectively, “AML Laws”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor, and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with the Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and any other AML Laws. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under the Act, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and any other AML Laws.

10.19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER SET FORTH HEREIN AND XXXXXXX AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES AS TO SUCH SUBJECT MATTER.

10.20. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any

205

such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer in such currency, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The agreement in this Section 10.20 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

10.21. Limitations on Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.21(a) and clause (b) of this Section 10.21, the Company’s Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited recourse obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company (and its assets) only and not against any constituent partner in the Company. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10.21 shall not impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiaries Guaranty or the liability of the Company under the Company Guaranty.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (a) of this Section 10.21, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have recourse to HHRI (in its capacity as the general partner in the Company) to the extent (but only to the extent) of any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders by reason of (i) any unlawful act on the part of HHRI or (ii) any misappropriation of funds by HHRI in contravention of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.22. Appointment of Company. Each of the Loan Parties hereby appoints the Company to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in connection herewith and agrees that (a) the Company may execute such documents and provide such authorizations on behalf of such Loan Parties as the Company deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Loan Party shall be obligated by all of the terms of any such document and/or authorization executed on its behalf, (b) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any L/C Issuer or a Lender to the Company shall be deemed delivered to each Loan Party and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any document, authorization, instrument or agreement executed by the Company on behalf of each of the Loan Parties.

10.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

206

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party thereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

10.24. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and

207

agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i) “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii) “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b) or (C) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

(iii) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv) “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

10.25. No Novation. All obligations of the Company under the Original Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Company hereunder, and the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof (subject to Section 10.26 below). The Company confirms that the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the Original Credit Agreement.

10.26. Transitional Arrangements.

(a) The Original Credit Agreement Superseded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties under the Original Credit Agreement in respect of any outstanding Revolving Loans (as defined therein) (the “Outstanding Revolving Loan Obligations”) shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Agreement and continue as “Obligations” hereunder (except to the extent repaid on the Closing Date). The Revolving Loan Lenders’ interests in such Outstanding Revolving Loan Obligations, including participations in Existing Letters of Credit (if any), shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in accordance with each Revolving Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Commitments therein. On the Closing Date, (A) the loan commitment of each Revolving Loan Lender that is a party to the Original Credit Agreement but is not a party to this Agreement (an “Exiting Bank”) shall be terminated, all outstanding obligations owing to such Exiting Banks under the Original Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall be paid in full, and each Exiting Bank shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else provided herein or otherwise, any rights of an Exiting Bank under the Loan Documents

208

that are intended by their express terms to survive termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of obligations under any Loan Document shall survive for such Exiting Bank hereunder, and (B) each Person listed on Schedule 2.01A attached to this Agreement shall be a Revolving Loan Lender under this Agreement with the applicable Commitment(s) set forth opposite its name on such Schedule 2.01A.

(b) Return and Cancellation of Notes. Upon its receipt of the Notes to be delivered hereunder on the Closing Date (if applicable), each Revolving Loan Lender will promptly return to the Borrower, marked “Cancelled” or “Replaced”, the notes of the Borrower held by such Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement (if applicable).

(c) Interest and Fees Under Original Credit Agreement. All interest and all commitment, facility and other fees and expenses owing or accruing under or in respect of the Original Credit Agreement in respect of the Outstanding Revolving Loan Obligations shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (prorated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date in accordance with the methods specified in the Original Credit Agreement as if such agreement was still in effect.

209

FORM OF COMPANY GUARANTY

This COMPANY GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of [________] [___], 20__, between Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (the “Guarantor”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders.

Reference is hereby made to that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2023 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., as a Borrower, the Designated Borrowers from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the various Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer and a Swing Line Lender, and Credit Agricole Corporate Investment Bank, as Sustainability Structuring Agent. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers have agreed to extend credit to the Designated Borrowers identified on Schedule A hereto, as amended or supplemented or deemed amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with Paragraph 18 below, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. Accordingly, for value received, the sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the Obligations of each Designated Borrower (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and/or the Sustainability Structuring Agent in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement), and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Designated Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), and Canadian Insolvency Law, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States, Canada or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Designated Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, but excluding any Excluded Swap Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations

G-1-1

shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized in the United States of America. The Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. All payments under this Guaranty shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Designated Borrower, including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Designated Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where any Designated Borrower is located.

Rights of Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, and the Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of, or impair any Lien on, any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.

Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Designated Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) of the liability of any Designated Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Designated Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to proceed against any Designated Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Sustainability Structuring Agent’s, any Xxxxxx’s

G-1-2

or any L/C Issuer’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.

The Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Designated Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders or any L/C Issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Designated Borrower or the Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Designated Borrowers owing to the Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Designated Borrowers to the

G-1-3

Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers or resulting from the Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Designated Borrowers may make any payment to the Guarantor in respect of such obligations and indebtedness. If the Administrative Agent so requests at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Designated Borrowers to the Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any Designated Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY

This SUBSIDIARIES GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of [________] [___], 20__, among the undersigned, any other Person which may become a party hereto pursuant to a duly executed instrument of accession in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders.

Reference is hereby made to that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2023 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. (the “Company”), the Designated Borrowers from time to time party thereto (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the various Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer and a Swing Line Lender, and Credit Agricole Corporate Investment Bank, as Sustainability Structuring Agent. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders and the L/C Issuers have agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. Each Guarantor is an Affiliate of the Borrowers, will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to extend such credit. Accordingly, for value received, the sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Guaranty. Except for any release of any Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, the Obligations (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Lenders and/or the L/C Issuers in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement), and whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter becomes unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any Canadian Insolvency Law, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States, Canada or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against such Borrower of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, but excluding any Excluded Swap Obligations (collectively, the

G-2-1

“Guaranteed Obligations”). The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations absent manifest error. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of a Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder (other than any Guarantor which is incorporated under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof) at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it is organized in the United States of America or Canada. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and subject to, and in accordance with, Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty. All payments under this Guaranty shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Borrower, including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of such Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where such Borrower is located.

Rights of Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, and the Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of, or impair any Lien on, any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause

G-2-2

whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any of the Borrowers; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to proceed against a Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Sustainability Structuring Agent’s, any Lender’s or any L/C Issuer’s power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.

Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that have not yet been asserted) and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders or any L/C Issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to a Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Termination; Reinstatement. Except for any release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or a Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether

G-2-3

or not the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may make any payment to such Guarantor in respect of such obligations and indebtedness. If the Administrative Agent so requests at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any such obligation or indebtedness of such Borrower to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors immediately upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

10.

Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

11.

Miscellaneous. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, no provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor. No failure by the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any term or provision thereof. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree to changes to this Guaranty with respect to foreign guarantors as may be required by local law.

G-2-4

12.

Condition of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that each of the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent has and the Lenders have no duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower or any other guarantor (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

13.

Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder and subject to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of Event of Default, set off and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of a Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively.

14.

Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except for where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and has the corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company power and authority, as the case may be, to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership, trust or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Guaranty; (b) this Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); (c) the making and performance of this Guaranty does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected; and (d) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

15.

Indemnification and Survival. Without limitation on any other obligations of each Guarantor or remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement (as if such Guarantor were the indemnifying party under the Credit Agreement) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may be suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Borrower

G-2-5

enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

16.

Governing Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of NEW YORK. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty shall (a) bind each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, without notice to any Guarantor and without affecting any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign, sell or grant participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part, in each case, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non‑exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith and any objection to the venue of any such action or proceeding.

17.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION, CLAIM, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. THIS GUARANTY REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SUBJECT MATTER. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

18.

Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is party hereto hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each such Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 18 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 18, or otherwise

G-2-6

Subject to the provisions of Section 21, the obligations of each such Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 18 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

19.

20.

Concerning Joint and Several Liability of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor accepts joint and several liability for the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Guarantor and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Guarantor to accept joint and several liability for the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Guarantors with respect to the payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations without preferences or distinction among them.
